CATHOLIC CEMETERIES ASSOCIATION – SEEKING PARTICIPANTS AND ROSARY LEADERS FOR ANNUAL WALK TO REMEMBER – OCT 6TH 1:00PM
During October, the month of the Most Holy Rosary, Catholic Cemeteries Association invites families to participate in a half-mile walking Rosary in honor of departed loved ones. We walk, we pray, we sing, and we remember. For those who cannot walk, or in case of rain, the Rosary will be prayed in the mausoleum or in the cemetery office. At the end of the Rosary, there is a brief candle lighting ceremony in remembrance of our dearly departed.
We are seeking Walk Participants and Rosary Leaders. One or two leaders to walk and one to lead seated in the mausoleum or office for participants who are not able to walk. This is a great communal prayer opportunity for families and for Rosary Prayer organizations in your parish.
